The latest variant as Collings expands their line of popular reissues of Great Depression-era "budget brand" guitars. The Kalamazoo "Oriole" guitars were of course made by Gibson, and most were maple with a natural finish and a bird decal on the headstock. Collings revived the use of blond maple, but instead chose the image of a Scissortail flycatcher on the headstock (a bird also knows as the "Texas bird of paradise" but we don't know why). Like other Kalamazoo models, this one sounds way better than the original Oriole, and the bird on the headstock has a lot more regional class. The maple looks a bit stark and white in these photos, but that's partly because of the super-bright lights in our little photo booth and remember that with a little time and some indirect UV both the maple and lacquer finish will develope the warm color of light honey.
